Crops as Tough as World Cup Turf - James Schnable and Guangchao Sun
from Genome Insider · host JGI
In our warming world, we’ll need corn, sorghum and other crops to grow well in worse conditions: with more heat, less water and less fertilizer. Grasses do better in these conditions, so plant biologists James Schable, Guangchao Sun and Vladimir Torrres have looked into traits that could transfer from grasses into other crops. One grass they studied just happened to be the same species that covered World Cup pitches in 2022.Links from this episode:Submit your own proposal to work with the JGIJoin us at the 2023 JGI User MeetingFind all episode transcripts on our websitePublication: Sun, G., Wase, N., Shu, S. et al.
